Been working obsessively on this for most of a week. Finding all the clips I wanted to use was easy. Timing all the transitions and lyrics was not. X_X

maybe it's because the first time I heard it was in a dumb hanleia fanvid (if you think that leia is a flawless, poised girly while han is a bumbling idiot she puts up with because she loves him, I have nothing to say to you), but I find that please, please, please song soooo cringe

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the Star Wars Rare Ship Challenge?

SWRSC is a monthly challenge community for Star Wars fans who write fic, make art, create fanvids, post moodboards, and any and all artistic pursuits for their ships. Each month, we have a broad theme that all prompts fall under. Participants will have two weeks to sign up for next month’s challenge. After the first of the month they signed up for, they will be given a prompt and a partner and then have the whole month to create whatever they want in line with the prompt and theme. They can then post their creation and we will reblog it.

What exactly is a “rare” ship?

Good question. For the purposes of this challenge, a rare ship is any “ship” of two or more Star Wars characters that has fewer than 4,000 works on Ao3 where that ship is the only one tagged. This is because fics are often tagged with side relationships and it’s difficult to tell with numbers alone just how many fics tagged with “Ship A” and “Ship B” are really more about Ship B and which ones spend an equal time on both.

As it currently stands, this means that Kylux, and Reylo are disqualified for this challenge. All other Star Wars ships are fair game.

What about HanLeia/Anidala/Other Canon Ships/Legends Ships? Do they count as rare pairs?

If there are fewer than 4,000 tagged works on Ao3 for that ship, then yes, they do. We want to be as expansive as possible in our definition of “rare ship” to encourage creativity and celebration of all ships, even those that have been well loved in the past but left behind by the changing internet and fandom.

Can I make content that features polyamorous ships/ace characters/aro characters/platonic relationships? What about genderbends?

Absolutely! All interpretations and reinterpretations of sexuality, gender, and relationships are allowed! Don’t limit yourself to sexual and/or romantic relationships if you don’t want to.

Is NSFW content allowed?

Yes. However, if you want to post NSFW content it must be placed under a read more link.

Are taboo topics allowed, such as rape, incest, abuse, horror, and darkfic?

Yes, as long as you tag and warn for content that could be potentially triggering and/or upsetting for others. The moderators will also be tagging your posts when they are reblogged, but it’s always a good idea to add those tags to your posts.

Wait, I don’t want to work with a partner. Is this a collaboration challenge?

No, you don’t have to. Partners are assigned to get multiple interpretations of the prompts. You do not have to work with your partner if you don’t want to.

Can I sign up for more than one ship a month?

Sure, if you want to! You can sign up for two ships (and thus two prompts) a month. Just be aware that you have to create content for both of them individually, and cannot combine the two ships and prompts into one creation.

I signed up this month but life got really busy and I don’t think I can post my work on time! What do I do?

Contact the mods. If you have any trouble creating for the challenge don’t hesitate to let a mod know. We will be happy to give you an extension, provided you’re not asking the day of or after it was supposed to be posted. If you need to drop out of the challenge at any time, just let the mods know and it won’t count against you.

The current mods are: rosemoonweaver.

What if I signed up for the challenge and didn’t create anything? Can I still sign up for the next round?

It depends. If you let the mods know that you were having difficulty and needed to drop out then yes, you may sign up again. If you didn’t and failed to post anything then you will not be allowed to participate for one month.
